I am one of the Type A New Yorker whose life is always under maximum. I teach yoga; run my own business; serve as primary caregiver for a sick family member; and, of course, pay the bills, walking the dog, washing clothes, and a million other things. It's hard for me to find a moment to relax, but as a yoga teacher, I learned firsthand the irreplaceable value to calm the body and mind. The question is, how can I adjust to relaxation haste, harassed every day?
Recently, when I was reading the Plan B of Anne Lamont, I met an attractive idea: She said that during particularly stressful times when life feels as if it moves too fast, you have to make a conscious choice to make and chill out. His solution is to go on a cruise. But his "cruise" does not occur on a boat. It happens on the couch! Just take your favorite quilt, pillows and books in the living room; It is on the couch; and it flows in a while. "It's amazing healing" he said. "I restored."
